Three weeks ago I contacted the OC for my med bills & got a full reckoning of all DOS, and all amt's due. Then, I called the CA that was handling two of the bills (CA was hired to collect, but had not bought the debts and was so far only reporting 2 out of 9 on my CR) and they, too, had that same list of bills - same am'ts, same DOS. I paid all nine to the CA and called today to verify the OC had been informed. Now, when I call back & go over all accounts, they are all showing zero, but suddenly OC is showing ANOTHER bill, for $409.
I can't DV the OC, but I sure find it funny that I've had no less than three convo's w/ OC and not once was this $409 mentioned. Plus, a long convo w/ CA and no mention of this debt, either. Am I totally crazy to start feeling like there might be a conspiracy to sock people who pay big $$ with more made-up debts to see if they'll cough up more dough?
I don't want this to end up w/ the CA and show on my CR, but I haven't quite figured out what procedure I use for a questionable debt that is still w/ the OC. Can I get some quick links to threads that cover this or advice, please?
